List, You may recall that in an earlier email late last month I
explained how I had found parts for the Auto Temp II system missing form my ’73
and suggested that it may have been because the car was built on a Monday. The
missing part was the vacuum transfer switch mounted on the outside/recirculating
air door assembly in the cowl just in front of the glove box and just behind
the heater/AC blower. Fellow List member Tim Durrer contacted me, and
since his glove box was already removed from his car for other reasons, offered
to take photos of the proper configuration. Well, it turned out that Tim’s car was also missing
the switch! The photos he sent me show that he has exactly the same
deficiencies as my vehicle. Now both Tim and I are wondering what the heck is going on. A couple of List members replied to say they have parts cars
to supply the missing parts (assuming that they would be there), but now I am
beginning to wonder if any ’73 cars actually have what the parts book,
MTSC booklet and the Auto Temp II Service Manual say they should have!!!!
If there is anyone out there with a 71, 72 or 73 with Auto Temp
II who could get a photo of the air door and actuator set up showing the vacuum
transfer switch - both Tim & I would be very grateful. I know it’s
a lot to ask – remove the glove box just to get a photo, so we will
understand perfectly if there are no takers!!! Photos aside, maybe there are some Auto Temp II “experts”
out there that can just confirm that they have seen vehicles that have the
vacuum transfer switch and the cam that operates it on a car with Auto Temp II (’73
in particular). Thanks, ’73 4dr project |
